3. Harry Potter (ABC Family)

Looks like the first two Harry Potter movies are hiding under Harry’s invisibility cloak, and whoever scheduled Half-Blood Prince to run after Goblet of Fire on Thursday may have had a few too many butterbeers. Meanwhile, one could accuse ABC Family of consorting with Sytherin for ending Friday’s marathon with Deathly Hallows Part 1, but they more than make up for it by running Part 2 twice on Saturday.

Thursday, Nov. 28, starting at 1 p.m.:Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Friday, Nov. 29, starting at 9:30 a.m.:Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

Saturday, Nov. 30, starting at 7 a.m.:Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, and Part 2 again

6. Star Wars (Spike TV)

On Friday, Spike TV will only air the Star Wars prequel trilogy. On Saturday, they’ll air the prequels again, and then whet fans’ appetites with A New Hope. Finally, on Sunday, they’ll air the original trilogy, and tweens everywhere will drive their aunts and uncles to madness by asking them why the special effects in those films look “so cheap.” Family!

7. Star Trek (Syfy)

It would appear the programmers at Syfy were sucked into a temporal vortex. That’s the only explanation for scheduling the Star Trek movies to run in this order: third, fourth, eighth, sixth, seventh, second, and seventh again. (Though we should all be grateful that vortex outright skipped the first, fifth, ninth and tenth, amiright?)
